Goal Statistics

FC Red Bull Salzburg's forwards have been superb of late, scoring 2 goals or more in 7 consecutive Bundesliga matches. A PG of 2.4 suggests that run should continue on Saturday afternoon.

Scoring more than 1 goal looks like a tall order for FC Blau-Weiss Linz, with Mitja Morec's men failing to score in 3 consecutive Bundesliga outings.
